What it does
Yopedia is an agent skill from yologdev/yoyo-evolve. Save research and reflections into (and recall from) your personal knowledge vault (yopedia) — your second brain
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Knowledge Management, covering Second brain. It works with Python. The repository describes itself as: A coding agent that evolves its own source, in public — 200 lines of Rust on day one, every commit since agent-written and tests-gated. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Second brain
Example prompts
- “/yopedia”
Requirements
- Python 3
- A credential in YOPEDIA_AGENT_TOKEN
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 637e940. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
curlpython3
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
yopedia.yolog.dev
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
YOPEDIA_AGENT_TOKEN
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Yopedia loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 378 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Yopedia — your second brain
Yopedia (https://yopedia.yolog.dev) is your personal, persistent knowledge vault. Use it to save what you learn (so it doesn't evaporate after a session) and to recall what you already know (so you build on yourself instead of re-treading the same ground).
Setup (from env)
BASE=https://yopedia.yolog.dev
AGENT_ID="${YOPEDIA_AGENT_TOKEN%%.*}" # the token text before the dot, e.g. alice--yoyo
VAULT="$YOPEDIA_VAULT_ID" # which vault to file into — passed on every ingestIf $YOPEDIA_AGENT_TOKEN or $YOPEDIA_VAULT_ID is unset, your second brain isn't wired up
yet — skip ingestion/recall silently and carry on. A yopedia call must never
fail your actual work.
Recall FIRST
Before researching a topic, check what you already know and build on it. Lead with keyword search — it's your workhorse and needs no auth header (it still uses your agent-id, so the Setup skip-guard applies). Recall is agent-scoped, so it spans all your vaults (an evolve session recalls your dream-research notes too).
# 1. Keyword search (no auth) — YOUR MAIN RECALL.
# Matches your term against note titles + bodies (stemmed word-family, NOT semantic),
# so search the REAL terms of your topic — names, features, concepts — and try a
# couple of phrasings if the first comes back empty:
curl -sS "$BASE/api/wiki/search?q=<keyword>&scope=agent:$AGENT_ID"
# 2. Whole index (no auth) — scan every note title you have, to see what's there at all:
curl -sS "$BASE/api/agents/$AGENT_ID/context"
# 3. Natural-language question (NEEDS your agent token) — a synthesized answer, not a list.
# /api/query is authenticated; send the same token you ingest with. (Unconfirmed that the
# Bearer token fully satisfies its gate — it rejected an unauthenticated call. If #3 errors,
# just fall back to #1/#2.) Use when you want a digested answer rather than raw matches:
curl -sS -X POST "$BASE/api/query" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $YOPEDIA_AGENT_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{\"question\":\"What have I learned about <topic>?\",\"scope\":\"agent:$AGENT_ID\"}"Ingest a source (whenever something genuinely informs you)
Ingest is fire-and-forget: the POST is queued and processed in the background, so it returns almost immediately. Don't wait for or parse a slug — just fire it and move on. (A non-2xx response means it failed; log it and skip.)
From a URL (no quoting worries — inline is fine):
curl -sS -X POST "$BASE/api/agents/$AGENT_ID/ingest" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $YOPEDIA_AGENT_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{\"url\":\"https://example.com/paper\",\"vaultId\":\"$VAULT\"}"
# → {queued: true, jobId} (queued; processed in the background — no slug to wait on)From your own notes — build the JSON with python3 (text has quotes/newlines; hand-concatenated JSON breaks → 400):
python3 -c "import json,os,datetime; print(json.dumps({
'title': 'Proprioception in software systems — ' + datetime.date.today().isoformat(),
'text': 'What it said, why it matters, and the source URL(s).',
'vaultId': os.environ['YOPEDIA_VAULT_ID']}))" \
| curl -sS -X POST "$BASE/api/agents/$AGENT_ID/ingest" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $YOPEDIA_AGENT_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data @-Ingest a report (a synthesis worth keeping)
Same python3→curl pattern, with a dated report title:
python3 -c "import json,os,datetime; print(json.dumps({
'title': 'Research — <topic> (' + datetime.date.today().isoformat() + ')',
'text': '<what I explored / key findings / open questions / sources>',
'vaultId': os.environ['YOPEDIA_VAULT_ID']}))" \
| curl -sS -X POST "$BASE/api/agents/$AGENT_ID/ingest" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $YOPEDIA_AGENT_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data @-Show full SKILL.md (161 more words)Show less
Rules
- Recall before you research; ingest after you learn. That's the loop.
- Recall is keyword search, not semantic — search the literal terms of your topic (names, features, concepts), and try a couple of phrasings before concluding you know nothing.
- Give every note a clear, dated title — recall and dedup work better.
- Re-posting is safe — the server dedups when it processes the queue (the immediate response won't include a dedup flag).
- Ingest is async/fire-and-forget: a note you save this cycle becomes recallable once the queue processes it (usually by your next cycle), not the instant you POST it.
- Always build text/report bodies with
python3 -c(quotes/newlines break naive strings). - Your notes are private agent-knowledge; the vault is your organizing lens.
- Never fail your task over yopedia. If a key is unset or a call errors, log it and move on. Responses: 2xx → {queued:true, jobId} (queued for background processing) · 401 bad/missing token · 403 token is for another agent · 400 no url/text/vault · 500 retry.

Can I use Yopedia in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add yologdev/yoyo-evolve --skill yopedia -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/yopedia, .gemini/skills/yopedia, .github/skills/yopedia and .opencode/skills/yopedia in your project.
What does Yopedia need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Yopedia needs the command-line tools its instructions call (curl and python3) and credentials named YOPEDIA_AGENT_TOKEN. Our summary lists: Python 3; A credential in YOPEDIA_AGENT_TOKEN.
Does Yopedia access the network?
SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: yopedia.yolog.dev; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
